Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician?

Comment recorded on the 24 May 'Starter of the Day' page by Ruth Seward, Hagley Park Sports College:

"Find the starters wonderful; students enjoy them and often want to use the idea generated by the starter in other parts of the lesson. Keep up the good work"

Comment recorded on the 9 October 'Starter of the Day' page by Mr Jones, Wales:

"I think that having a starter of the day helps improve maths in general. My pupils say they love them!!!"

Numeracy

"Numeracy is a
proficiency which is developed mainly in Mathematics but also in
other subjects. It is more than an ability to do basic arithmetic.
It involves developing confidence and competence with numbers and
measures. It requires understanding of the number system, a
repertoire of mathematical techniques, and an inclination and
ability to solve quantitative or spatial problems in a range of
contexts. Numeracy also demands understanding of the ways in which
data are gathered by counting and measuring, and presented in
graphs, diagrams, charts and tables."

Go Maths

Learning and
understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner
engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes
traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to
address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and
this web site provides many of those.
The Go Maths main page links to
more activities designed for students in upper Secondary/High school.
